At Mechartes, we specialize in designing advanced ventilation systems for car parks and tunnels, ensuring safety and compliance with international standards. Our expertise in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) plays a crucial role in optimizing ventilation systems, particularly when using jet fan systems.

Our CFD analysis assists clients in determining the optimal number and placement of jet fans to maintain carbon monoxide (CO) levels within acceptable limits. By simulating various configurations, we fine-tune the location and orientation of jet fans to achieve efficient CO dispersion and ensure compliance with required standards.

Once jet fan configurations are optimized, we conduct a comprehensive fire analysis to adhere to fire code requirements. This analysis assesses tenability conditions, including temperature, visibility, radiant heat flux, and CO levels within car parks and tunnels. Our approach ensures that emergency scenarios are managed effectively, prioritizing occupant safety and structural integrity.

With experience in over 5,000 car park and tunnel projects globally, Mechartes has a proven track record of delivering reliable and efficient solutions. Our normal ventilation CO analysis adheres to standards such as ASHRAE 16, California Standard 2019 CMC 403.7.2(2), Australian/New Zealand Standard AS1668.2-2012, and the Australian National Construction Code NCC2022.

For smoke analysis, we comply with BS 7346-7-2006, NFPA 92, NFPA 130, SFPE, NFPA 88A, EN 1991-1-2, and regional codes including the UAE Fire and Life Safety Code, Qatar Fire Code, and Saudi Fire Code. This ensures our solutions meet stringent safety and performance criteria.
